The Power of the Tea Party and the US Budget

The New York Times: Reports that Republican Tea Party members have forced the new Republican House Leadership to make deeper cuts in the US Budget. Folks you cant have trillions of debt, that way leads to the fate of the British Empire, in other words broke. The Republicans got elected in November on the promise to return the US to fiscal responsibility, well will power comes the actual job, the Republicans should slash and burn the Obama Budget, it should make sure that there is no money for ObamaCare, force POTUS to close down the government to get money for his health care reform. If the Republicans cave to the White House the will be out of power in 2012. The political trenches have been drawn and it’s the budget, folks keep an eye on Congress, don’t allow them to cave, if they are weak phone them, text them, email them, tweet them, etc, this is the time to get the US out of the red and back in to the black, time to show leadership.

Mubarak OUT = Army IN = ?

Telegraph: Reports on the resignation of President Mubarak of Egypt. Thus what next folks, the President has transferred power to the Army, they have promised a road map to free elections. The question is will this be enough for the protesters, the reaction of the protesters was joy at the news, but what comes next folks, will the Army really give Egypt Democracy or will they spin the departure of Mubarak as a reason to keep the present power structure, lets recall folks you would have fond such joy in 1917 with the fall of Tsar Nicholas 11, then in 1979 when Iran’s monarch left, but that secular revolution was overtaken by a religious revolution. Lets see what happens folks, you have to tip your hat to the protesters, they have bought down a dictator by peaceful protest on the whole, that should be celebrated, this is a historic day in Egypt, but lets see what happens next, this old cynic has worries about the future of the Middle East after this Revolution.
